Jeep Cj7 Renegade W/ Chevy 350 Conversion No Reserve 1983 on 2040-cars
Carrollton, Texas, United States
I have for auction AT NO RESERVE is this nice 1983 Jeep CJ7 with the Chevy 350 4bbl conversion. The list of amenities it has is quite long. If you would rather just look at the pics skip this section (tilt steering column, clock, tach, locking glove box door, side entry steps, padded steering wheel, 2 dash speakers, uncracked dash pad, custom retractable indash drawer for coins and small items, trailer hitch, padded roll bar, spare tire carrier, power steering, power brakes, 33" tires, Renegade decal kit, hard top, untorn factory seats, Custom rear seat with storage area, chrome exhaust tips, 20 gallon fuel tank, bikini top for summer. The floor boards are intact. Frame is in fine shape. Drive train is a Chevy 350 with a 4 bbl Holley 650cfm carb paired up with a Tremac T176 four speed transmission and new clutch parts. It has some chrome accessories as well. Dual exhaust. Gears are 3:31. I purchased it in '04 and I have around $16k invested in it. It's not a show Jeep and it does need some attention (mostly from sitting around in storage). I have mixed feelings about selling it but I just can't justify insuring and registering 3 vehicles for a 1 driver household. It was last registered in 2007 and was put in storage after that. It ran fine back then but now it needs the fuel system cleaned out and maybe the carb rebuilt b/c it runs a bit rough and the fuel filter keeps clogging up. The gas tank is poly so the problem is not rust but just dirt I guess. The rear diff is starting to leak. Brakes were replaced in 2004 and are perfectly fine. The front fender flares are no good as seen in the pic however I do have a new drivers side flare I will include. Tires still have the protective blue coating on the lettering. The top does have a small chip on the lip that sits on the body but that's all it is is a chip. The Jeep needs wiper blades. There is no radio or console in the vehicle. This would be a great opportunity for someone who is mechanical and has the time to attend to its imperfections, enjoy it for a while and then sell it off for a profit down the road. Ask questions before bidding. If I have failed to mention something it was not intentional. Please don't bid unless you're serious about owning the vehicle. I will help out where I can with shipping however buyer is financially responsible for shipping. A nonrefundable security deposit of $1000 is due within 24 hrs of auctions end. Payment in full is due within 14 days of auctions end but if you need more time to arrange for pickup something can be worked out. Local pickup is an option. I make no guarantees on this vehicle and it is being sold as is. I am going to try to make a video of it running and put it on youtube. AGAIN THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers
Thu, 12 Jun 2014For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
Retro Review covers that Jeep Wrangler TJ you wanted in high school
Fri, May 8 2015The Jeep Wrangler TJ holds a dear place in my heart. When they were introduced, the return to circular headlights helped pull my dad into the dealer, and he bought one. A few years later, I learned how to drive a stick in that Jeep. Now, MotorWeek has fired up the time machine for a look at the '97 Wrangler as part of the Retro Review series. One of the great things about these videos is that they offer a chance to see if nostalgia lives up to reality. In this situation, that seems to be the mostly case. Even when new, MotorWeek finds a lot to praise about the TJ, especially in terms of handling and style. It's not all perfect, though, with a major complaint about the braking. Watch the clip to see if the show's take on the Wrangler lives up to your memories of them, too.
Airbag fault on 1M recalled Jeeps getting second look from NHTSA [UPDATE]
Mon, 02 Jun 2014UPDATE: Here is the statement we received from Chrysler regarding NHTSA's query: "Chrysler Group LLC advised the National Highway Traffic Administration of the six reports and, in accordance with the Company's long-standing practice, is cooperating fully with the resulting investigation. Customer safety is paramount at Chrysler Group. Customers who are concerned may call 1-800-853-1403."
It appears that Jeep's repairs for nearly one million Grand Cherokees from 2002-2004 and Liberty models from 2002-2003 might not be over yet. The vehicles were first recalled in November 2012 because the front airbags could suddenly deploy without being in an accident. Now, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a recall query into them because of reports of inadvertent activation on some already corrected vehicles.
The original problem affected over 919,000 vehicles worldwide, including 744,822 in the US, and was caused by a degrading circuit in the wires that control the airbags. In some cases the airbag warning light would come on just before the premature activation, but in other cases it would just happen. The automaker installed an "in-line jumper harness with an integrated electrical filter" meant to eliminate the power spikes believed to be the cause.
